Hi folks. Having struggled for over a year on which "brand new" bike I'm going to treat myself to, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on either the R12GS or the GSA version. I've looked at the new Gold Wing, the K1600, RT, KTM 1290 Adventure (NICE bike) and the Ducati Multi. So I'm looking for real world opinions (subjective, I know) on why choose one GS model over the other? In addition to my other bikes, this one will most likely end up being the daily rider; 30 mile highway commute to work, weekend warrior both on and off road, occasional camping / fishing trip, sudden and unexpected grocery store runs (which can take...HOURS! ... because I always get lost......), etc.
Also, I'm generally suspicious of 1st year engine releases so I might hunt for a leftover 2018 model. Your thoughts and input are very much appreciated.
Cheers, Rol.
edit: with a nod to another ongoing thread, are these GS models made in Berlin?
